Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Waffles

It's time for me to fess up. I adore oatmeal raisin cookies. I know they get no love and, when compared to chocolate chip they are the wallflower of cookies. But I love them. These waffles have all the flavor of plump sun-kissed raisins and hearty oats, AND you get to top them with butter… Continue reading Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Waffles

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Shortbread

I have been overwhelmed in the past week or so to the response to my Reese's Peanut Butter Bars. God bless Pinterest. As a thank you to everyone who's expressed their delight at the peanut butter/chocolatey goodness of those treats, I bring you another equally decadent dessert.  These buttery, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies are infused with… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Shortbread

Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies

You've heard me say frequently that I don't have a crazy passion for peanut butter and chocolate. Bizarre, I know. I feel this is a total deficiency of character. I would blame my maker, but I'm pretty sure He knew what was best for me in not giving me that particular food obsession. What God… Continue reading Lofthouse Style Sugar Cookies

Butter Pecan Cookies

Any recipe that starts with "butter" can only be awesome. Add in pecans and you've hit cookie nirvana. I got turned on to the idea of making a pecan cookie last week when my friend over at Rumbly in My Tumbly made some Pecan Sandies. I always get great ideas from her and the cookies… Continue reading Butter Pecan Cookies

Cinnamon Roll Cookies

I love good cinnamon rolls. So it only stands to reason that I'd equally adore a cookie made in the image and likeness of my favorite sticky bun.  However, I had no clue how much these adorable little cookies would strike my fancy.  Like a flat cinnamon roll, without the guilt of eating a pastry… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Crushed Cookies

Note to self. A three-year-old plus a platter of cookies = temptation beyond measure. Every single cookie -- about 20 of them. Mangled. A little finger print right thru the top. Actually, it kind of looks like what my sister's boxes of chocolates look like after they've tested them to see which ones are cremes/caramels… Continue reading Crushed Cookies

White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread

Here's another example of how Pinterest has changed my life. I never would have thought to chop up maraschino cherries to use in cookies. These decadent rose hued shortbread are so beautiful, they're almost too pretty to eat. My daughter flipped out when she saw that I was making PINK cookies! They are sure to… Continue reading White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread

Sweet Spritz

Finally! I have found the ultimate solution to my spritz cookie dilemma. You may remember that last year when I posted this recipe, I admitted that I have a little trouble with the cookies flattening out. That I thought it might be the recipe, but as I'm the fourth generation to make them (and they… Continue reading Sweet Spritz

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

There's a girl I know. She bakes a lot of wonderful things. She says these are her favorite cookie. If, of all the delicious things she creates, these are her top pick, they must be awesome. I had to try them for myself. But just one. I'm selling the rest tomorrow at our garage sale.… Continue reading Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
